Hair Loss Cure

A cranial prosthesis, or a hair prosthesis is often referred to as a cancer wig; it is often understood to mean a wig. There are, however several points of difference between a cranial prosthesis and an ordinary wig.

The first and immediately evident difference between the two is that a cranial prosthesis is the term used when applying for medical insurance or tax deduction status.

While wigs are most typically generically made; i.e. not for any particular person and are used for a variety of cosmetic and commercial purposes;  a cranial prosthesis is custom made and fitted especially for sufferers of different ailments ranging from cancer to male and female pattern hair loss and alopecia.

A cranial prosthesis is made by ventilating the hair (i.e. attaching the hair one by one with a special needle) using artificial or real human hair to a prosthetic hypoallergenic scalp, and custom-made to fit the shape and size of an individual’s head. They usually are made, colored and constructed by hand by making a cranial mold of the person to ensure the perfect fit.
